Claude just cracked a 25-year NSA crypto mystery in 30 minutes
The AI traced the origin of five unexplained seed values in NIST elliptic curves back to a basic 90s random number generator using timestamps
This basically kills the backdoor conspiracy theory that's been floating around for decades
More interesting: AI is now solving research problems that stumped humans for 25 years. We're entering a new phase where AI doesn't just assist research - it closes decades-old gaps in minutes
The implications for crypto security audits and protocol verification are massive
